From the beginning of the present

from hand to mouth, growing deeper
into debt aud having very little to
show for It. This is not the first nor
TIE second time that the finance COM
mittee of the council has attempted to
bring order ont ofchaos and reduce
matters to some system. The result
has not been encouraging to the

not be deferred from pushing its en-
quiries by any cold shoulder busl-
